Unidentified radio stations

If
you know the Thai language, I would greatly appreciate
your help. I have heard interesting radio stations
from this country, but I haven't been able to identify
them. This page contains recordings of those stations.
The latest sound
files are in MP3 format and the older ones in Real
Media format. You need the Real Player software
to listen to these files. If you don't have Real
Player, you can download the basic version for free
from here.
Then just listen to the soundfiles, compare your
observations with others and please email
me what you hear.

there
is only one station listed, Jor Sor in Bangkok, but
is there anything to indicated that this was indeed
local and not some network programming? |
| 1224 |
9.1.2005 |

this
must be Thor Or (Thahaan Aakaat), but which one: Chiang
Rai or Nakhon Sawan? |

a
male announcer giving a local ID for a Thahaan Akart
station before close-down. There are two listed: Chiang
Rai and Nakhon Sawan, but which is this? The female
announcer in Thai beneath is the other Thahaan Akart
station. |

Alan
Davies: Like nearly all MW stations, the one on
1161 is relaying news from Radio Thailand at 1200
so there's no local ID unfortunately (after the usual
Radio Thailand pre-news music the man says "thiinii
Sathaanii Witthayu Krajaisiang Haeng Prathet Thai"
-- "This is Radio Thailand" -- around 10 secs in).
As the Bangkok station usually signs off at 1200 this
is probably Ubon Ratchathani, I suppose.
Alan Davies: I need to update you here. The
Bangkok station now operates 2300-1500, so it could
have been this one that you heard. |

lem158_15.rm |
this
must be Yan Kraw, but there any hint of an ID or local
programming?
Alan Davies: I agree it must be Yan Kraw, but
there's no ID or other clues that I can hear. |

Alan
Davies: nothing clear. In fact I'm even a little
uncertain about the language -- I think the male voice
could be speaking Mandarin Chinese judging by the
tonal pattern, but maybe there are two stations there. |

1649
(about) |
774a.rm |
a
rather long soundfile (4 minutes); very probably Sor
Sor Sor from Udon Thani, but no ID? Some commercial
spots and talk.
Portzer's Thai friend: Several commercials,
but nothing that points to a specific station |
| 909 |
3.12.2000 |
1330 |
909a.rm |
announcements
by a male and a female announcer, but again I have
no idea if there is anything hinting on Radio Thailand
or whether or not this is local programming. The station
is of course Sor. Wor. Thor. (Radio Thailand) from
Surin, the only Thai on this frequency, but it would
be nice to get some decent program details for a report.
Portzer's Thai friend: Nothing important |
| 1098 |
4.12.2000 |
1340 |
1098a.rm |
nothing
that would indicate an ID, but this is listed here
because any Thai on this fq would be a rare catch,
QRM by China. Sor Wor Thor (Radio Thailand) in Mae
Sot and So. Wor. Phor in Songkhla are listed here.
This may have been just some network px, because I
believe that the same px was heard at the same time
on 1233 kHz.
Alan Davies: Is that possibly a mention of
Songkhla at 00:09? Doesn't necessarily prove anything,
unfortunately.
Portzer's Thai friend: A poem about the King,
then birthday greetings to His Majesty. Nothing that
would ID the station |
| 1170 |
20.11.1999 |
1400 |
1170a.rm |
nothing
to would indicate an ID, but this contains the top
of the hour announcement. I guess that So Thor Ror
8 Siang Jaak (in Phitsanulok) would be the only active
station here, but is there anything to indicate it
was that station?
Portzer's Thai friend: Too much noise |
| 1224 |
6.11.1993 |
1530 |
1224a.rm |
this
is probably Thor Or from Bangkok, which is now operating
on 1233 kHz? But was Thor Or from Chiang Rai also
here, and is there any way to distinguish these two
from this soundfile?
Portzer's Thai friend: A monk teaching how
to breathe properly and a couple commercials |
| 1224 |
6.11.1993 |
2235 |
1224b.rm |
a
rather long soundfile, the same as previous, more
spots.
Portzer's Thai friend: They say the broadcast
is coming from a studio at Don Muang airport (the
international airport for Bangkok) and mentions Suan
Dumnen as an address or location. Could be Thor Or
1, which WRTH and Alan
Davies list as being at Don Muang, WRTH has it on
1224 & Alan lists it on 1233. Or it could be one
of the other listed Air Force stations with a relay
of Bangkok. |
| 1404 |
2.12.2000 |
1727 |
1404a.rm |
probably
no ID, but commercial spots. Maybe something local?
Only Thor. Phor. Neung.(Kohng Thap Phaak Thii Neung)
from Suphanburi should be on the air this late, and
should in fact sign off at around 1730 (when the signal
faded out) but also Sor. Wor. Thor. (in Songkhla)
and Jor. So. (in Yasothon) are listed on the frequency.
Portzer's Thai friend: No help (too much France) |
| 1404 |
15.11.1999 |
1708 |
1404b.rm |
probably
no ID, just a commercial spot or some promotional
announcement
Portzer's Thai friend: Whoever it is says to
call (02)4129919 if you want to advertise on the show.
If you can find out who the number is for, you might
ID the station. |
| 1422 |
27.11.1999 |
1400 |
1422a.rm |
ID
in the beginning, and again on the hour, but which
one of the two Thais on the frequency?
Alan Davies: No positive ID that I can hear
-- the clue is at around 1 min 10 sec where the news
bulletin comes from 'Khao Pasifik' (Pacific News)
which provides the news service for army-run radio
stations. Presumably this is therefore Bangkok, not
the police-run station in Phitsanulok. The police
stations generally carry news on the hour from the
National Police Office (Samnakngaan tamruat haeng
chaat) in Bangkok -- there's a sample recorded from
an FM station here.
Portzer's Thai friend: End of a show hosted
by a monk who gave a blessing to everyone, then Pacific
News from Army Radio hosted by Sansadee Nakhomson,
first news story was about stringent laws against
oil smuggling. This seems to match the Bangkok station,
which Alan's web site says is operated by the Royal
Guard and carries many Buddhist programs. |
| 1440 |
24.11.1997 |
2321 |
1440c.rm |
probably
no ID, but many commercial spots, which might reveal
the location. The possible stations are probably Wor
Por Tho (Withayu Pracham Thin), Tor Por Song (Kongthap
Pak Tii Song) or Tor Por Saam (Kongthap Pak Tii Saam)
Portzer's Thai friend: Nothing worthwhile |
| 1512 |
14.1.1990 |
2341 |
1512a.rm |
some
shouting which sounds like Tor Por Song - or just
my imagination? But there are - or at least were -
many stations with rather similar names. Where is
this station at present?
Alan Davies: I think I can hear 2 Thai stations
in the second half, but can't identify either! The
station in Surin is now on 666 kHz, using just 5 kW
according to their announcements.
Portzer's Thai friend: Nothing worthwhile |
| 1530 |
1.3.1997 |
1355-
1400 |
1530b.rm |
a
long excerpt (5 minutes) with commercial spots, which
might reveal something. The possible stations are
probably Thor Phor Neung (Kong Thap Phaak Thii Neung)
in Chanthaburi and Wor Por Tho 14 (Witthayu Prajaam
Thin) in Uttaradit. Perhaps an ID for Wor Phor Tho
after the fanfare?
Alan Davies:
After the rather quiet section, goes into the introduction
for educational programmes from Ramkhamhaeng
University, Bangkok from 03:35 with no local ID --
I don't think either of the two stations on 1530 still
carry this nowadays. The only place name I can hear
is Chonburi province in one of the ads (02:24) so
this is rather inconclusive.
Portzer's Thai friend: Several ads, then a
program from Rankumhang University, which agrees with
what Alan told you. |
| 1548 |
6.8.1990 |
1915 |
1548a.rm |
this
is perhaps the one, which used to be listed as Phol
Nung Ror Or - now moved to 1422 kHz. Is there anything
to confirm the identity?
Portzer's Thai friend: too much interference |
| 1548 |
6.8.1990 |
1927 |
1548b.rm |
the
same as previous
Portzer's Thai friend: ads, one gave a phone
number 279-4400 to place an order (Believe the ad
was for a musical group promoting their album) |
| 1557 |
20.11.1999 |
2258 |
1557a.rm |
a
long excerpt (4 minutes), again probably no ID, but
many commercial spots, which might reveal something.
The possible stations are Suun Kaan Thahaan Maa "Siang
Adison" in Phetchabun, and So Wor Thor (R Thailand)
in Trad.
Alan Davies: No ID or other clues that I can
hear. Radio Thailand local MW stations don't generally
carry advertising, and you'd expect their station
in Trat to be relaying Bangkok at 6 am, so more likely
Phetchabun.
Portzer's Thai friend: nothing useful |
